Looks a clean example. any particular reason why you didn't get a 530d?
Change the ATF asap. I don't think the gm box in that will have been too stressed comparitively as it should be a a5s390r, same as that used in the 530d. Considering the milleage though, I wouldnt risk it. Those boxes are piss poor for durability on the bigger engines.
I used to have a 330d auto before my 6spd manual, and it was terrible on fuel. Driving like a nun would yield 25mpg around town. Normal realistic town around 20mpg. The e39 tourer is much heavier... Check the coolant temp, should hit close to 90deg after 8ish miles. If not, that will knock your mpg to shit, there is a hidden menu to access that.
Also in case anyone's confused, this is a common rail engine. Do not put any fkin veg in it!
